rounded nut

osirus · 06-14-2007, 09:42 AM

I was starting to change the fan clutch on my 01 sportage and I got so far as to remove four out of five of the nuts from the assembly. The last one slipped and well, It's pretty messed up. Any ideas on how to get it off? Thanks in advance,

Eddie.

Sears offers a socket tool for this type a problem. I have a 3 inch minature pipe wrench that I use for the small nuts when they are rounded off. The pipe wrench was a Ridgid give away at a trade show. Little did I know how much I would use that little thing.

I have often used a small chisel or an old screw driver to hammer the bad bolt head at a tangent.
